Lisa Whelchel, Facts of Life
Lisa Whelchel, who played rich-girl Blair Warner on the 80’s series “The Facts of Life,” is supporting Jamie Lynn Spears as she begins her pregnancy.

Lisa Whelchel is more than aware of being a teen star – but let’s face it, times have changed a bit since the 80s and Whelchel certainly didn’t have a crazy-ass sister like Britney Spears.

Still, Lisa Whelchel is offering up her support for Jamie Lynn Spears – whatever that’s worth. Whelchel told ABC news:

“I’m very passionate about wanting to speak out on behalf of this young girl. She is a role model, but it’s not her responsibility to be a role model. That’s so much pressure on a 16-year-old.

I’m so proud of her for stepping up and being courageous and taking responsibility for her choices, and I believe she’s being a good role model – a good role model in that situation, to choose to have the baby, and I am supportive of her in that situation.

Lisa Whelchel even had kind words for Jamie Lynn’s mom, Lynne Spears: “We are doing the best we can as moms. We really are. I know that she’s doing the best she can as a mom as well.”

Great. Now I can’t get “The Facts of Life” theme song out of my head. Enjoy:
